No. No, it's not good at all.

I like HWF2's route of it going backwards and then north.

what a hassle

Had to do a double take to see the PEEEEEJ noodle

Perhaps I made it too subtle.

It could fizzle out into nothing or become a Cat 5 It could go up Florida peninsula or impact Galveston I know this seems smart arse' ish but this is literally the forecast at this point

Actually this is the forecast:

quote:

---

A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave is
moving westward at 15 to 20 mph through the southeastern Bahamas.
Satellite wind data and reports from an Air Force Reserve
reconnaissance aircraft this morning indicate that the system still
lacks a closed circulation, and that the strongest winds associated
with the system likely have decreased to below tropical storm
strength. In addition, shower and thunderstorm activity has become
significantly less organized during the past 24 hours. Although
upper-level winds are not conducive for significant development
during the next day or so, they could become a little more favorable
over the weekend or early next week when the wave is expected to
approach southern Florida or the southeastern Gulf of Mexico.

Regardless of development, heavy rains, with the potential to
cause flash floods and mudslides, are likely over Hispaniola
today. This system could produce gusty winds and locally heavy
rainfall over portions of the Bahamas during the next day or two.
Interests in South Florida and the Florida Keys should monitor the
progress of this disturbance since it is possible that some impacts,
at a minimum heavy rains and gusty winds, will occur beginning this
weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent

Everything else is just information produced by a computer and goes into the forecast.

I thought dukke predicted it would hit the northern Gulf, not Louisiana.

At least it's pointing the right direction. Peej's noodle hasn't pointed up since '89.
